Angelo Pietro Restaurant - Honolulu, Hawaii

When I was a child, I remember eating at Angelo Pietro's. I remember how delicious their pizza was and the raw potato salad too. However, the second time I ate there, I ordered the most disgusting dish ever. I wasn't sure if I wanted to return for a while, so I did not until this past week.

For those of you unfamiliar with Angelo Pietro's, it is a Japanese-style Italian restaurant. Although there's Italian food, it is influenced by Japanese taste buds.

I was not sure how my third experience would be, but it turned out great! I chose items I knew would be good, instead of creating my own meal. Now, I want to return to Pietro's for more delicious food.

My favorite item there is the rainbow salad. It is a raw potato salad with other vegetables, such as lettuce and tomatoes. It is extremely healthy. I would return to Pietro's just for the salad.

I also enjoy their pizza, but I did not love the meat lover's pizza as much. It was a bit salty for me, but I am sure someone else out there would enjoy it.

The Shrimp Doria was excellent and it is an item I would recommend, especially if you want to try something new and a bit unusual. It reminds me of a dish I used to eat at home. It's such a modern Japanese food and it is one I would love to cook at home to enjoy. It is similar to a casserole with rice, shrimp, mushrooms, cheese, and a creamy sauce.

I will definitely return to Angelo Pietro's to enjoy some of the other dishes on the menu. The prices are quite reasonable and the food is excellent, as long as you choose the right thing for your taste buds. I can't wait to return.
